You Are a Badass

You Are A Badass is a motivational self-help book, and reads exactly as the title suggests.  It's written like a girl talking to her girlfriend.  It seems geared towards women, though she sometimes suggests more gender universal things.

The book is separated into 5 parts.  The first explains why you're not badass, and the next 4 focus on how to become a badass.  In general, the themes revolve around increasing self-esteem, forgiveness, and motivation, as any good self-help book will advocate.

She lost me at the end though, when she overly emphasizes the importance of money, and the need to hire a coach (if I'm borrowing a book from the library, obviously I'm too cheap to hire a coach).

Overall it's a good message, but if I bought this book, I'd probably review the second through fourth chapters and skip the beginning and end.
